Fla early voting?

[Demfromct]

Are they counted now or not? Have they been counted? Any one have any proof?

KErry led by 8% with 20% of Flrida voters.

Florida's site says absentee votes may not be counted. Says nothing about early voting.

5. Who says they get counted last? Why wouldn't they count them in before

they report? Absentee is different, that does get counted last.

2. NO.

They're not going to be counted until Thursday, I think.

6. I'm a Florida resident. I was told that

early voting ballots would be held until the polls closed. Depending upon the precinct, this would be anywhere from between 7-8PM this evening. Early voting ballots would not be submitted for counting until this evening. In my county that would mean a very quick process because we use Optical Scanning. In other counties that would mean different things. I would think early voting would have varying impacts around the state. In Brevard I heard that 22,000 voted early.
